PART THREE: APPEARANCE

Signature Style

THE THING THAT’S always worked for me is the fact that I look so totally artificial, but am so totally real.

—Twitter, January 5, 2010

I LOOK JUST like the girls next door … if you happen to live next door to an amusement park!

—Twitter, January 20, 2010

IF THERE’S ONE thing this blonde has learned, blondes have more fun!

—Twitter, March 19, 2010

THE QUESTION I get asked most is “are they real?” … Well, of course not. They’re acrylic. I could never grow my nails this long!!

—Twitter, October 25, 2011

DON’T LET THESE false eyelashes lead you to believe that I’m as shallow as I look ‘cause I run true and deep.

—Twitter, July 26, 2012

I’VE ALWAYS BEEN misunderstood because of how I look … Don’t judge me by the cover ‘cause I’m a real good book!

—Twitter, May 16, 2013

I WANT TO mean something. I don’t want to just be some joke. I don’t want to be the all-American joke, you know, with the boobs, and the hair, and the tight belts, or the whatever. I want to be a meaningful, artistic person.

—Barbara Walters interview, December 14, 1982

WHENEVER I CATCH myself getting too nostalgic, well I just think about how heavy the wigs used to be!

—Twitter, March 23, 2019

I’VE BEEN AROUND a long time … Long enough for people to realize that there’s more to me than the big hair and the phony stuff.

—Tumblr, December 22, 2014

I THOUGHT, “OH yes, you’ve gotta shine! If you’re going to go on stage, you need to shine. Let people see you like you’re a star.” So I’ve always enjoyed playing dress up.

—Dolly Parton: Queen of Country, 2015

I FEEL GLAMOROUS on the inside, so I want to look like it on the outside.

—Twitter, October 15, 2012

I THOUGHT YOU had to have big hair if you were gonna be in country music. The higher the hair, the closer to God. You know, if I have a bad hair day, I’ll just change it right then. I don’t have to worry about it. Everybody says, “How long does it take to do your hair?” I say, “I never know; I’m never there.”

—Dolly Parton: Platinum Blonde, January 6, 2003

IT’S EASY TO look like me. All you need is a stuffed shirt, wigs, high heels and makeup. I describe my look as a blend of Mother Goose, Cinderella and the local hooker.

—Dream More: Celebrate the Dreamer in You, 2012

I’M TOO CARTOONISH to ever be a threat to wives and girlfriends. Not to say I might or might not have ever crossed the line. Even Snow White slept with seven dwarfs!

—Dream More: Celebrate the Dreamer in You, 2012

I feel that if you are a star, you owe it to your fans to look like one.

—Dolly: My Life and Other Unfinished Business, 1994

I USED TO think that when I became a star, I would have candy and cakes and pies any time I felt like it. One need only look at the width of my butt in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas to know that I kept that promise to myself, at least for a while.
